I know it's only preason but....

Isn't it so much better this morning to have positive media coverage than what we get when we lose?

[Jackofalltrades]

I don't care either way. I don't credit the media after we win, nor do I take them seriously after we lose.

Especially in August.

I haven't tuned in yet.  Is it a Keuchly love fest?

I will be surprised if the story is how our D dominated or how the Ravens "Struggled". After the game last night the first thing I saw was "Ravens Struggles" and turned my TV off.

To be honest not sure id say our D dominated. We forced turnovers but they drove on us a decent amount. 

 

They had way more yards on the ground and through the air.

Our D dominated the game for the most part.  Near the end when the backups were in and it wasn't the QB we gameplanned for things got less awesome but it was the end of a preseason game.

 

Aside from a few series at the beginning of the game (basically until the Ginn PR) we looked a bit flat but what we delivered was a smothering, fun to watch, absolutely beastly defensive performance.

 

I hope we see a fraction of that throughout the regular season games.

I would prefer to win but our lack of offense makes it bitter sweet

[Your GFs favorite huddler]

Two say our D did anything less than dominate last night is ridiculous! Like stop trying to be so over analytical and face the freaking facts!!!!! 3 count it 3 defensive scores! Star and short basically living in the offensive backfield with multiple tackles for loss! Luke playing one the best halves of football I've ever seen from anyone!!! Ill say it...coooommmmeee onnnn mannnn be a fan support your team when we actually have something positive happen!!!! A whole lot of positive!!!

I was wondering if maybe the media would throw us a bone and make the headline that our defense is awesome and just destroyed the Ravens and their 100 million dollar QB. But I knew all along it was going to "Ravens bungle and goof up the game, it's only preseason."

Thank goodness that game didn't count because the Panthers won. Whew!

[GRWatcher]

Last night just after the game Fox Sports' tag line for it was "Kuechly shines, Smith ejected."  :(

 

But, yeah, it is nice.

Over under on how many times we'll be reminded that Keek played at BC?

I get what you're saying but the whole point of a defense is to get turnovers and keep the other team from scoring as many points as the offense.  They did that in resounding fashion last night.  Flacco looked good on the first drive and the last one (against 2nd teamers) and that's generally good enough to win.  Had the offense been able to move the ball at all it might have been a blowout.

 

My biggest concern is that it took a punt return for a TD for them to get out of the funk they were in...but I understand it too.
